Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse police have accused two men of leading them on an early morning car chase through the city, along an interstate and into Camillus, plus stealing a car and other offenses.

Here's what police said happened.

At 11:58 p.m. Friday at a Sunoco gas station at 200 N. State St., the owner of a 2010 Chevy Impala told police her car was stolen after she accidentally dropped her keys while entering the store.

Her credit card was also in the car.

About an hour later, police saw the stolen car with two occupants driving on the 100 block of West Street.

When police tried to stop the Impala, the driver refused and sped off. Police pursued the car as it traveled west on Interstate 690, then south on Route 695. It got off at the Gere Lock Road exit.

At that point the driver failed to negotiate the turn and drove off the road into the grass.

The vehicle's occupants then attempted to run away, but police quickly apprehended them.

The driver of the stolen vehicle was identified as Cameron Grady, 25, of 4915 W. Genesee St., Camillus. His passenger was Matthew Jackson, 24, of 507 Hickory St., Syracuse.

Police accused Grady of two counts of criminal possession of stolen property, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, driving while intoxicated, and aggravated unlicensed operation. All of the charges are felonies.

He was also accused of resisting arrest, and unlawfully fleeing police in a motor vehicle.

Grady is expected to be arraigned this morning in Syracuse City Court.

Jackson was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in the third degree and released on an appearance ticket. He will appear in Syracuse City Court at a later date.
